Future add-on

Sponsored Channel placement

A separately scheduled, clearly labelled Channel post, always limited by the four-useful-posts rule.

No guaranteed reach or outcome

Why the model is logical

The audience is earned through usefulness—not sold as access.

A larger, genuinely useful Channel can support future income, but businesses would buy only a clearly labelled scheduled placement. They never buy member data, verification, group access or guaranteed results.

01

Residents receive value

Free information, free town access and a low-noise regional Channel.

02

The Channel grows honestly

People follow because the information is useful, moderated and easy to find again through the website.

03

Optional promotion funds the work

Only after every gate passes, new labelled placements may be charged for to support the work of operating the network.
